Iran US War News LIVE: Trump lashes out at allies, says securing the Strait of Hormuz is 'not for us'
US President Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday at allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort against Iran, telling them to “go get your own oil” and saying it was not America's job to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the military could end its offensive in two to three weeks and that the U.S. “will not have anything to do with” what happens next in the strait that has been closed by the Islamic Republic. Instead, he told reporters, the responsibility for keeping the vital waterway open will rest with countries that rely on it. (AP)
